Amen to Bondogposi, in that order. Being more specific, very good quality yet affordable; Grizzly G0691 table saw, Porter Cable 690 router reconditioned @ CPO for $109.00 put into a MLCS table saw right extension with power lift and aluminum insert, $619.00 SUMMER SALE. Rikon 18” or Grizzly 17” Polar series band saw. prices fluctuate. Hope you saved a GREAT workbench with super vises and dexign of your choices! Then 8” jointer, probably grizzly; then 12” or larger planer, Belsaw makes a fine product, most table models currently in production do great work. I’m extremely pleased with the Grizzly G0703P dust collector.

The reason I keep mentioning Grizzly is I feel I get better reliability and quality at a reasonable price within my fixed income budget. Of course the “Top Of The Line” machines from Delta, Powermatic, Rikon, General and others; may do a slightly better job and last a bit longer, but I’m 72 and my shop will last me till I have to quit.
